<p><em>Open your mouth to speak on behalf of those in need. Proverbs 31:8-9.</em></p>
<p>When CLINIC learned about the expansion of family detention into a permanent facility in Dilley, Texas with a capacity of 2,400 following the closure of the temporary facility in Artesia, New Mexico, <strong>we had to open our mouths to speak on behalf of those women and children in need of refuge from the violence they fled.</strong></p>

After the collapse of comprehensive immigration reform in 2007, approximately 500 immigration related bills were introduced by state legislators. By 2008, the number of proposed immigration-related bills had tripled to 1,562.
